You know the game of love, so the flame never burns youNo passion concerns you, no violins playBut me, I lose control of my heart when I'm near youThat's why I fear you and turn awayI need a love that's true, I wish it could be youI know it should be you and so I say....

All or nothing at allHalf a love, never appealed to meIf your heart, never could yield to meThen I'd rather have nothing at all

All or nothing at allIf it's love, there is no in betweenWhy begin then cry, for something that might have beenNo I'd rather have nothing at all

But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheekDon't smile or I'll be lost beyond recallThe kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weakAnd my heart may go dizzy and fall

And if I fell under the spell of your callI would be, caught in the undertowSo you see, I've got to say "No, No"All or nothing at all
